more dialogue option mean more variety
also it gives you the possibility to play suave smooth-talkingif it works right character instead of your default overall badass

Because I'd rather just stab them in the neck and take what I want than talk them into giving it to me. Tongues may be sharp, but a knife is shaper.

It's only good when you're going for a pacifist run or if it's the only way to access a really good reward. Problem is that both of those require knowledge of how the conversations will go before you play it.

in said game it was basically required to do settlement content

I pretty much always dump charisma. It's a boring stat, and for dialogue checks Intelligence ones tend to be better anyway. I much rather just take something that expands my options in combat.

Fallout New Vegas

There's only about 3 Charisma checks in the entire game (including DLC) that can't be gotten around by other means. Charisma is worthless otherwise, and there's ways to make enough books to get every single skill up to 100, so the boost to Charisma skills is worthless.

If it opens up more options for extra missions, zones, or creating fucked up situations in your favor, it's always a must. The same goes for games where having minimal stats changes the game in significant ways, but RPGs rarely have anything but high checks anymore.

If its just skip quest its dumb but some games can do it right, If it allows for different things like quests being locked unless if its high enough or get more info or items then its pretty cool

>it's always a press this buttom to skip quest and get reward

That's only the case in shitty Bethesda or Bioware "RPGs".

Charisma is useless but Speech isn't.

I'd say "Ow the edge", but going crazy is so much more fun. Only complaint I ever had with fallout is no create a raider gang option.
